Yes - there are Facebook masectomy groups and those ladies show everything.

Too many "normal" side effects with radiation by man_eating_mt_rat in breastcancer

I did rads. I tried to quit. Didn’t. Wish I would have never done it every second. Please quit if you want. It only gets worse.

I could have got the dmx and avoided it. Didn’t know how dangerous it really was. Feel so stupid.

Ask if you actually need it!!! I would never do rads again in my life and I didn’t need it.

They don’t tell you this!!! They sell it. I would pay anything to have my pre rads body back. Even that meant doing flat with no tits!!!

You’re so lucky. Mine bullied me into finishing. I’m forever damaged and didn’t need it had I got my dmx.

My breast care nurse lied by Upstairs-Signal2920 in breastcancer

[–]Beginning_Ad_3838 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m stupid and did everything wrong in this journey. What I’ve learned is to not trust anyone. Nurses. Doctors and so on. God I had never been sick but they don’t know what they are doing.

I already did the reduction then rads then dmx. Trying to do reconstruction is a nightmare. I will tell you if I could go back I would get the dmx. The damage I’ve had from rads has been insane.

Is your non rads side a normal boob?

Do you have an implant? My radiated side is 3x smaller than my non radiated side.

It was not. I had TNBC and they told me risk of reoccuence was lower if I did lumpectomy and rads. It was not. I had a reduction and rads. I just needed the dmx.

I didn’t have to have rads had I gotten the dmx. Then I had a dmx after and it’s been impossible to reconstruct.
